Fantastic way to experience & learn more about Stirling - We did the Stirling Run Tour today and it was absolutely brilliant. Such a great way to explore the city - informative, relaxed and really good fun.
Colin was fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Stirling. He made it funny and interesting throughout, sharing stories and details that really brought the city to life.
The pace was easy and comfortable with plenty of breaks, and I loved that it focused on some of the lesser-known sights. It really complements a separate visit to Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument.
I would genuinely recommend it to locals who want to learn more about where they live, as well as visitors to the area. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable way to experience Stirling.

Exercise and learn amazing details - Great way to see a city - a workout and education rolled into one. You learn lots of amazing details that are not in any guide books and have fun as well. Colin certainly knows his stuff!
The pace is very easy and adjusted as necessary, the stops are nicely spaced and the route takes in some lovely paths and views.

Excellent running tour of historic Stirling - Excellent running tour led by Colin. The idea is great in that it covers more distance than a normal walking tour - around 90 mins, 8km distance and 10 or so stops. Colin is very knowledgeable on the local history and described each stop with great enthusiasm. I learnt a lot. Highly recommended.

Tour run with friends - What a brilliant way to tour Stirling! Colin was really interesting with lots of local knowledge. The pace was perfect, nice and gentle so we could also chat as we went along. We covered about 7.5km on our tour but we stopped every km or so to hear about the next point of interest, stops were nicely spaced out. I’d definitely recommend this and will be looking out for similar tours when I visit other cities. Loved it!

Run with friends - Colin ensured we had a great day out on his Stirling Run Tour. He is extremely knowledgeable about Stirling and I learned loads of interesting historical facts about my local area and I enjoyed the visuals he provided along the way. I’ll definitely be paying more attention out and about.
Colin set an enjoyable pace on this lovely crisp winters day and engaged with the whole group.
I would not hesitate to recommend Colin as your guide if you are looking for something a bit different to do as a visitor, or indeed a local. I’m sure you’ll learn something useful and keep fit at the same time.

Fun Run Tour - Lots of lesser known history & interesting facts, from our very attentive run tour guide Colin. Great way to spent a couple of hours on a Sun morning on a gentle run around Stirling. Then we finished with a nice coffee stops. Highly recommended :)
